You aren't going to "sync" your device with Linux in the same manner you would with Active Sync on Windows. However, you should be able to get Linux to recognize the device so you can sideload files from the device to your desktop.

Well, I tried it this weekend. I upgraded to VirtualBox 1.5.0, then reinstalled WinXP in a VM, then ActiveSync 4.1 (don't like 4.2 and above). Everything worked (iPAQ detected and a partnership created) until I tried to sync and the little green icon of AS just spins but doesn't sync anything. Oh well...

I can't help for WM 5.0, but I have successfully sync'ed WM 2003 SE using AS 3.8 and Windows 98 in a VMware Server session. Unfortunately no USB 2.0 yet, so backups are slow. I had a beta of VMware Workstation for a while that had USB 2.0 which worked nicely also.

I have tried SynCE a couple time. It is kinda tricky to set up, but I was able to view the files on the PocketPC. It's MUCH easier to just use a card reader to shuffle files though.
